Sundowns appoint Mngqithi, Mokwena as joint head coaches
Mamelodi Sundowns have announced the appointment of Manqoba Mngqithi and Rhulani Mokwena as joint head coaches.
The announcement was made on Sunday and follows the resignation of Pitso Mosimane.
Mosimane has joined Egyptian giants Al Ahly.
In a statement, Sundowns indicated that “the opinion of Manqoba Mngqithi prevails when there isn’t consensus” between the two coaches.
Club president Patrice Motsepe says the duo has been given a mandate to defend the titles for the team.
"Manqoba, Rhulani and the technical team at Sundowns will focus on defending the PSL and other titles that we won during our historic 50-year anniversary.
"The board of Mamelodi Sundowns was particularly keen to appoint South African coaches and express commitment, confidence in the talent and ability in our local coaches.”
He added: “Manqoba and Rhulani have been with Mamelodi Sundowns for many years and were part of the technical team that were crowned Champions of Africa in 2016 and have also won the Premier Soccer League and other titles in South Africa."
The Brazilians are also expected to make more announcements in due course.
